Just a little BUMP to all that it is a great idea to carry with you a spare paddle!
Not only have I broken a few myself (mostly cheaper ones, but still....) but I have seen others break them during trips and also have had customers who have broken them, and guess what, no spares on board!!!
So if you are planning on going a few K's off-shore alone, or in a group, make sure at least someone in the group has a spare split paddle on board, It could save you the hard slog or tow home!
